Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a display method of a conversation interface according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, including the steps of:

in step 200, the terminal obtains a session interface display request, where the session interface display request carries the user identifier and the social application identifier.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may have a social application thereon, and the social application may provide a session function, such as a personal session function or a multi-person session function, based on which the user of the terminal may perform information interaction with other users. The session interface display request is used for indicating to acquire information related to the session interface so as to display the session interface on the terminal. When the terminal detects a trigger operation on any session of the social application, the terminal can be triggered to acquire the session interface display request. For example, when the terminal detects a trigger operation on any one person in the session list of the social application, the terminal may be triggered to acquire the session interface display request.

In step 201, the terminal obtains the frequency of use of each function control of the session interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the session interface is an interface corresponding to any session function, and the session interface is used for specific information interaction between the user and the user, for example, the user may publish information such as text, pictures, voice, and files in the session interface. As shown in fig. 3, the session interface may include a session display area 301 and a function bar 302, wherein the session display area 301 is used for displaying the latest chat information, the session display area is a main body part of the session interface, and the function bar 302 displays at least an input box and a plurality of target function controls. The input box is used for a user to input text information, and the target function controls are function controls which can be directly seen in the function bar 302 when the user opens the session interface. Each function control is all the function controls which can be acquired from the session interface by the user, and each function control can be associated with the corresponding function interface and is used for the user to publish information in other forms in the session interface. For example, the user may call a gallery of the terminal through a picture control, and have selected a corresponding picture to send to the session interface. The usage frequency is the number of times that the user uses the corresponding function control in a preset period, and the usage frequency can represent the preference degree of the user for the function control.

For example, the process of the terminal acquiring the use frequency of each function control of the session interface may be as follows: and the terminal acquires the use frequency of each function control in a preset time period corresponding to the user identification from the server based on the session interface display request. Specifically, the terminal may send the session interface display request to the server, and after receiving the session interface display request, the server may obtain the user database associated with the user identifier according to the user identifier carried in the session interface display request. Furthermore, the server may obtain, from the user database, a historical session record associated with the social application identifier according to the social application identifier carried by the session interface display request. Based on the historical session record, the server may obtain a usage time point of each function control corresponding to the session interface from the user using the social application. Based on the use time point of each function control, the server may obtain the use frequency of each function control within a preset time period, where the preset time period is a time period with the current time point as an end point. And then, the server can send the obtained use frequency of each function control to the terminal.

For example, the server may determine a usage time point of each of the functionality controls by the user in the last week, where each usage time point represents that the user used the functionality control once, and the server may obtain the usage frequency of each of the functionality controls by the user in the last week.

The terminal can determine that the function control with higher use frequency is directly displayed on the session interface by acquiring the use frequency of each function control, so that the function control directly displayed on the session interface can better accord with the recent use habit of the user, and the use hit rate of the user on the function control is improved.

The specific process of the server recording the use frequency of each function control can be as follows: the terminal can trigger a frequency recording instruction and send the frequency recording instruction to the server when detecting that the user uses one function control of the session interface, wherein the frequency recording instruction can carry a user identifier, a function control identifier, a social application identifier corresponding to the session interface and a time point for using the function control, and the server can correspondingly store the time point and the function control identifier in a historical session record of the user associated with the social application identifier, namely, the terminal represents the user to use the function control once.

It should be noted that, the above is described by taking an example that the terminal acquires the use frequency of each function control of the current session interface in real time, in other embodiments, the server may further perform statistics on the use frequency of each function control of all session interfaces corresponding to the social application, and the terminal may acquire the statistical use frequency of each function control of all session interfaces, which is not limited herein.

In step 202, the terminal determines a plurality of target function controls to be displayed based on the usage frequency of each function control, wherein the usage frequency of each target function control is greater than a frequency threshold.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target function controls to be displayed are function controls whose usage frequency satisfies a preset condition. The preset condition may be that the frequency of use is greater than a threshold; alternatively, the preset condition may be that the usage frequency is located at a top preset digit of the usage frequency ranking of each function control.

The following describes a specific process of determining a plurality of target function controls to be displayed by the terminal, taking the preset condition as an example that the frequency of use is greater than the threshold: the terminal can compare the obtained use frequency of each function control with a frequency threshold set by the terminal in sequence, and the terminal can determine all function controls corresponding to the use frequency greater than the frequency threshold as target function controls to be displayed. For example, if the terminal acquires 4 function controls whose usage frequency is greater than the frequency threshold, the terminal may determine the 4 function controls as target function controls to be displayed. The frequency threshold may be any value set by the terminal, for example, the frequency threshold may be 20, and a frequency of use of one function control greater than the frequency threshold may indicate that a frequency of use of the one function control by the user is high.

Further, the terminal may also set the maximum number of the target function controls to be displayed. When the number of all the function controls acquired by the terminal and larger than the frequency threshold is smaller than the maximum number, the terminal can determine that all the function controls are the target function controls to be displayed; when the number of all the function controls acquired by the terminal and larger than the frequency threshold is larger than the maximum number, the terminal may determine the function controls with the maximum number from all the function controls according to a preset rule, and use the function controls with the maximum number as the target function controls to be displayed. For example, the terminal may randomly select the maximum number of function controls from all the function controls as the target function control to be displayed. Of course, the terminal may also determine the target function control to be displayed from all the function controls based on other preset rules, which is not limited herein in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Of course, the preset condition may also be that the usage frequency is located at the top N bits of the usage frequency ranking of each function control. Specifically, the terminal may sequence the use frequency of each function control in a descending order, and the terminal may determine the function control corresponding to the use frequency of the top N bits as the plurality of target function controls to be displayed. Wherein, N may be any positive integer set by the terminal. In other embodiments, the terminal may further determine the target function controls to be displayed according to other preset conditions, which is not specifically limited herein in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the process, the terminal determines that the plurality of target function controls to be displayed are all the function controls most possibly selected by the user based on the use frequency of each function control, and the terminal can display the session interface based on the plurality of target function controls to be displayed, so that the experience of the user on the session interface can be greatly improved.

In step 203, the terminal sequentially displays the target function controls in the first area 303 of the function bar 302 of the session interface according to the order of the use frequency of the target function controls from high to low.

In this disclosure, the first area 303 is used to display the target function controls, and the first area 303 is a partial area of the function bar 302 of the session interface, for example, the first area 303 may be a partial area of the left third of the function bar 302, and of course, the first area 303 may also be another area of the function bar 302, which is not limited herein.

For example, the specific process of the terminal displaying the plurality of target function controls in the first region 303 may include the following steps 203A to 203B:

203A, the terminal may determine the display intervals of the target function controls and the display sizes of the target function controls according to the length of the first region 303 and the number of the target function controls.

The length of the first region 303 is a fixed length. The terminal may preferentially adjust the display intervals of the plurality of target function controls, specifically, the terminal may set a minimum display interval, and the terminal may determine, as the display interval, the length of the first region 303 occupied by each two target function controls on average according to the length of the first region 303 and the number of the plurality of target function controls. When the display space is larger than the minimum display space set by the terminal, the following step 203B may be executed; when the display interval is smaller than the minimum display interval set by the terminal, the terminal may adjust the display sizes of the target function controls so that the interval between the plurality of target function controls after the adjustment of the size reaches the minimum display interval, and then execute step 203B described below.

203B, the terminal may draw the plurality of target function controls in the first area 303 according to a preset rule.

Specifically, the terminal may draw the plurality of target function controls in step 203A in the first area 303 sequentially from left to right in the order from the largest use frequency to the smallest use frequency based on the use frequency of each target function control acquired from the server. Of course, the terminal may also draw the target function controls in the first area 303 according to other preset rules, for example, the terminal may also draw the target function controls at any position of the first area 303 at random, which is not limited herein.

In the above-mentioned steps 203A to 203B, the specific process of displaying the plurality of target function controls on the first region 303 is described by taking the length of the first region 303 as a fixed length as an example, in other embodiments, the length of the first region 303 may also be variable, and the terminal may change the length of the first region 303 according to the number of the plurality of target function controls without adjusting the display pitch and the display size of the plurality of target function controls. Of course, the terminal may also change the length of the first region 303, and adjust the display space and the display size of the target function controls, which is not limited herein.

The above-mentioned steps 200 to 203 are processes of displaying a session interface by the terminal, and the processes are described by taking as an example that after the terminal acquires the use frequency of each function control from the server, the terminal sorts the use frequency of each function control, and then determines and displays the plurality of target function controls.

In step 204, the terminal displays the input box in the second area 304 of the function bar 302 of the session interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second area 304 is used for displaying the input box, the second area 304 is a partial area of the function bar 302 of the session interface, and the second area 304 and the first area 303 may not overlap, for example, the second area 304 may be a partial area in the middle third of the function bar 302, and of course, the second area 304 may also be other areas of the function bar 302, which is not limited herein. The input box is used for inputting text information by a user, and the user can directly see the input box when opening the session interface.

The length and the position of the input box seen by the session interface may be fixed and unchangeable each time the user opens the session interface, that is, the length of the second area 304 may be fixed and unchangeable, and the terminal may draw the fixed-length input box in the fixed second area 304 each time. Of course, when the length of the first region 303 is variable, the length or position of the input frame may be variable.

The following describes a specific process of displaying the input box in the second area 304 by the terminal, taking the length or position of the input box as an example:

the terminal can set the total length of the first region 303 and the second region 304 to be constant, and the terminal can adjust the length of the second region 304 based on the length of the first region 303, so that the length of the second region 304 is the total length minus the length of the first region 303. The terminal may set an initial length of the input box, and when the length of the second region 304 is greater than the initial length, the terminal may draw the input box of the initial length at a middle position of the second region 304; when the length of the second region 304 is smaller than the initial length, the terminal may adjust the initial length of the input box to a preset length, and the terminal may draw the input box with the preset length at a middle position of the second region 304, where the preset length is smaller than the length of the second region 304. Of course, the terminal may also display the input box at other positions in the second area 304 according to other manners, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited herein.

In step 205, when the terminal detects a trigger operation on the input box, hiding the plurality of target function controls.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal detects a user's trigger operation on any position of the second area 304 where the input box is located, the terminal may hide the plurality of target function controls displayed in the first area 303.

When the user clicks the input box, the fact that the user wants to publish the text information in the conversation interface is represented, but not other forms of information corresponding to the target function controls, therefore, the terminal hides the target function controls, a larger space can be provided for display of the input box, the function bar 302 of the conversation interface is simpler, and the visual effect of the user is greatly improved.

In step 206, the terminal displays the first extensible control 401 in a first sub-area of the original display areas of the target function controls.

In this embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the original display area is the first area 303 in step 203, the first sub-area is a partial area in the first area 303, as shown in fig. 4, the first extensible control 401 is used to trigger the display of the multiple target function controls, and the first extensible control 401 may prompt the user that when the first sub-area is triggered, the terminal may display the multiple target function controls, so as to avoid that the user mistakenly triggers the first sub-area when the user does not need the multiple target function controls.

For example, when the terminal is in the first sub-area, the specific process of displaying the first extensible control 401 may include the following steps 206A to 206B:

206A, the terminal may determine the length of the first sub-region based on the length of the first region 303.

As can be seen from step 203, the length of the first region 303 may be a fixed length or a variable length.

Taking the length of the first region 303 as a first fixed length as an example, the process of the terminal determining the length of the first sub-region may be as follows: the terminal may preset a second fixed length as the length of the first sub-area, wherein the second fixed length is less than or equal to the first fixed length. Of course, the terminal may also determine the length of the first sub-area according to the first fixed length and the number of the target function controls, and specifically, the terminal may preset a ratio of the length of the first sub-area to the first fixed length according to the number of the target function controls. For example, the terminal may set the length of the first sub-area to occupy one third of the first fixed length when the number of target function controls is less than or equal to three, and the terminal may set the length of the first sub-area to occupy one half of the first fixed length when the number of target function controls is greater than three.

In addition, when the length of the first region 303 is a variable length, the terminal may preset a third fixed length as the length of the first sub-region, wherein the third fixed length is smaller than the variable minimum length of the first region 303. Of course, the terminal may also preset that the length of the first sub-region is always one-N times the length of the first region 303, where N is a positive integer. For example, the terminal may preset the length of the first sub-region to be always one third of the length of the first region 303, and when the length of the first region 303 is 3cm, the terminal may determine that the length of the first sub-region is 1 cm; when the length of the first region 303 becomes 4cm, the terminal may determine that the length of the first sub-region is 1.3 cm. Of course, the terminal may also determine the length of the first sub-area in other ways, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not specifically limited herein.

206B, the terminal may determine the display size and display position of the first expandable control 401 based on the length of the first sub-region.

The display size and the display position may be fixed, and the terminal may obtain a preset display size and a preset display position, for example, the terminal may preset that the display position of the first extensible control 401 is always the middle position of the first sub-region, and the terminal may also preset that the display position of the first extensible control 401 is always the right end of the first sub-region.

The display size may be variable and the display position may be fixed. Specifically, the terminal may preset a display size of the first expandable control 401 according to the length of the first sub-region. The terminal may preset that when the length of the first sub-region is less than or equal to a preset length threshold, the display size of the first expandable control 401 is a first size, and when the length of the first sub-region is greater than the preset length threshold, the display size of the first expandable control 401 is a second size. Wherein the first size may be smaller than the second size. Of course, the terminal may also determine the display size and the display position of the first expandable control 401 in other manners, for example, the display size may be fixed, and the display position may be variable, which is not specifically limited herein.

In addition, the first expandable control 401 may be any shape and any color, and the disclosed embodiments are not limited thereto.

206C, drawing the first extensible control 401 at the display position of the first extensible control 401 corresponding to the first sub-region.

It should be noted that the terminal may also pre-configure parameters such as the display interval, the display size, and the display position of the target function controls, the input box, and the first extensible control 401, and the terminal may directly display the target function controls, the input box, and the first extensible control 401, which are pre-configured with parameters, in the function bar 302 of the session interface.

In step 207, the terminal stretches the input box length.

For example, the specific process of stretching the input box length by the terminal may include the following steps 207A to 207B:

207A, the terminal determines the target length of the input box according to the length of the first sub-region and the initial length of the input box.

The initial length of the input box is the length of the input box that is directly seen by the user when the user opens the session interface, that is, the length of the input box before the target function controls are hidden. The target length of the input box is the length to which the input box can be stretched.

Specifically, based on the length of the first sub-area determined by the terminal in step 206 and the length of the first area 303, the terminal may determine the length of the remaining area except for the first sub-area in the first area 303, the terminal may obtain the sum of the length of the other area and the initial length of the input box, and based on the sum, the terminal may determine the target length of the input box, where the target length may be greater than the initial length and less than or equal to the sum.

207B, the terminal extends the length of the input box to the target length.

In step 208, the terminal displays the stretched input box in the second sub-area of the original display areas of the plurality of target function controls and the original display area of the input box.

In this embodiment, the second sub-region is the rest of the first region 303 except the first sub-region, and the original display region of the input box is the second region 304 of the function bar 302 in step 204, that is, the display region of the input box before the target function controls are hidden.

For example, the specific process of the terminal displaying the stretched input box may include the following steps 208A to 208B:

208A, the terminal may determine the display position of the stretched input box based on the second sub-region and the original display region of the input box.

The terminal may determine, based on the display position of the second sub-region, a position with a preset length from the left end of the second sub-region as a first display position of the left end of the input box, and the terminal may determine, as a second display position of the right end of the input box, a position with a target length from the right side of the first display position, where the target length is the length of the stretched input box. The terminal may use a position between the first display position and the second display position as the display position of the stretched input frame. Of course, the terminal may also determine the display position of the right end of the input box first, and then determine the display position of the left end of the input box, which is not specifically limited herein in this embodiment of the disclosure.

Of course, the terminal may also determine the total display area based on the second sub-area and the original display area of the input frame, and the terminal may preset the display position of the stretched input frame, which is always the middle position of the total display area. In other embodiments, the terminal may also determine the display position of the stretched input box in other manners, and this embodiment of the disclosure is not specifically limited herein.

208B, the terminal may draw a stretched target length input box at the display position.

The above-mentioned steps 206 to 208 are to take the example that the length of the input box can be changed after the terminal hides the target function controls, and the display process of the first extensible control 401 and the input box is explained. Of course, after the terminal hides the target function controls, as shown in fig. 5, the length of the input box may also be unchanged, and the first extensible control 401 may also remain unchanged.

For example, the specific process of the terminal displaying the first expandable control 401 and the input box may further include the following steps (1) to (2):

(1) the terminal displays the first extensible control 401 in the original display areas of the target function controls.

The original display area is also the first area 303 of the target function controls, and the terminal may determine the display size and the display position of the first expandable control 401 according to the length of the first area 303. The process is the same as the process of determining the display size and the display position of the first expandable control 401 based on the length of the first sub-region by the terminal in step 206B, and details are not repeated here in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

(2) And the terminal keeps the display of the input box unchanged in the original display area of the input box.

The foregoing steps 207 to 208 are processes of displaying, by the terminal, the first extensible control 401 and the input box based on the original display areas of the multiple target function controls, in which the terminal may pre-configure the display position and the display size of the first extensible control 401, and the terminal may also adjust the first extensible control 401 and the input box according to changes in the first area 303 and the second area 304, which is not limited herein in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step 209, when the terminal detects the triggering operation of the first extensible control 401, the display of the target function controls is resumed in the function bar 302 of the session interface.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal detects the triggering operation on the first extensible control 401, the terminal may trigger a recovery instruction, where the recovery instruction is used to instruct the terminal to recover the plurality of target functionality controls hidden in step 205 in the first area 303 of the ribbon bar 302. The terminal may redraw the target function controls in the first region 303 based on the resume instruction, where the display positions, the display order, the display sizes, and the like of the target function controls displayed in the first region 303 are the same as the display positions, the display order, the display sizes, and the like of the target function controls displayed in the first region 303 in step 203.

In addition, if the function bar 302 displays the stretched input box while the function bar 302 displays the first expandable control 401, the terminal may also resume displaying the input box when the terminal resumes displaying the plurality of target function controls. That is, when the terminal detects the trigger operation on the first expandable control 401, the terminal may display an input box with an initial length in the original display area of the input box of the function bar 302.

In step 210, when the terminal detects a trigger operation on the second expandable control 402 of the ribbon board 302, the terminal hides the target function controls, displays an input box in the ribbon board 302, and displays a plurality of function controls in a sub-area 602 of a third area of the session interface, where the function controls include the target function controls.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the second expandable control 402 is used to trigger the display of the plurality of function controls by the terminal, and the second expandable control 402 may be displayed at any position of the function bar 302, for example, the second expandable control 402 may be displayed in a region in a quarter of the right end of the function bar 302. As shown in fig. 6, the third area 601 is a partial area of the session interface, and the third area 601 includes the ribbon 302 and a sub-area 602 of the third area, where the sub-area 602 of the third area is an area formed by raising the ribbon 302 by a preset height, and the plurality of function controls are all function controls developed by the social application.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, when the terminal is in the scenario involved in step 205 to step 208, the user may perform a trigger operation on the second extensible control 402 of the function bar 302. In this scenario, when the terminal detects the trigger operation on the second extensible control 402, the terminal may keep the hidden states of the multiple target function controls in step 205 unchanged, and the terminal may keep the state of the input box in step 208 unchanged, where the state of the input box may be a stretched state or an initial state. Further, the terminal can display the plurality of function controls in the sub-area 602 of the third area.

For example, the process of the terminal displaying the plurality of function controls in the sub-area 602 of the third area may be as follows: the terminal may obtain the ranking of the use frequency of the plurality of function controls from large to small, and the terminal may sequentially display the plurality of function controls from the top of the sub-area 602 of the third area according to the ranking of the use frequency from large to small. The terminal can pre-configure parameters such as the display size, the display interval, the display position and the like of the plurality of function controls.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, when the terminal is in the scenario related to step 209, that is, in the scenario where the target function controls of the ribbon bar 302 are not hidden, the user may also perform a trigger operation on the second extensible control 402 of the ribbon bar 302. In this scenario, when the terminal detects the trigger operation on the second expandable control 402, the terminal may hide the plurality of expandable controls and display the input box stretched in step 208, and at the same time, the terminal may display the plurality of function controls in the sub-area 602 of the third area. Of course, in this scenario, the terminal may also keep the display states of the multiple target function controls in the first region 303 unchanged, keep the display states of the input box in the second region 304 unchanged, and display the remaining function controls, except for the multiple target function controls, in the sub-region 602 of the third region, in the multiple function controls, where a process of displaying the remaining function controls in the sub-region 602 of the third region by the terminal is similar to the process of displaying the multiple function controls in the sub-region 602 of the third region, and details of the embodiment of the present disclosure are not repeated here.
